Wheat Straw

We are grateful that my uncle offered to sell us his wheat straw. The total amount looks bleak… we’ll be lucky to have 25 bales off a 150 acre field.

Gentle Soul

We were blessed by a visit by a gentle soul yesterday!

I thought some of these explained well why agriculture folks do what they do. WRM is starting the year off by reading a book by Wendell Berry.

Fresh straw, Andrew & Co. Cleaned the coop on Saturday.

Not sure if you can see the detail of the chicks…but these are Ambrose’s. They are quite eye catching and unique…blue cochins, Easter Eggers, and a variety of cochins.

Youth Rodeo 🏇

Andrew and the 4 oldest were able to squeeze in a Youth Rodeo as summer comes to an end and school begins. They all enjoyed the day…From goat tail untying to mutton busting to stick horse poles and barrels, each child had their favorite rodeo memory.

Rain shower🌧️

We’re getting a rain shower tonight, I don’t remember the last time we had measurable rain. I finally got around to writing “thank you cards” for the Baptism gifts.

This is interesting… thought I’d share. This would be Lucy’s great, great, great Grandma and Grandpa, my Great Aunt Neva gave it as part of her gift to Lucy.

They all enjoyed helping Lucy open her gifts 💝

Rocket is turning in to a good looking little stallion.

Grandpa Bob and Uncle Chris, I can’t help but smile when I go in the garage, thank you again for all of your cleaning and organizing of it!

First Day of School 🏫

Our eight-year-old posted this the other day we had to chuckle… We sure miss our two oldest sons and it’s only been a couple of hours.

Baptism 🕊️

She’s a baptized member of Christ’s Family! Lucy was surrounded by helpful family this entire weekend who helped prepare the house for the Baptism supper, she has musically talented uncles who helped make the Mass extra beautiful and the Meyers sure provided a tasty supper for all to enjoy! So many folks helped out in so many ways.

Thank you Anna for the beautiful cake and Grandpa and Grandma Jacobson for delivering it!

Maria and children provided cute centerpieces for the tables and helped serve Mass and the cake to the 70 + guests!

Had a college roommate swing by! It’s so wonderful to see and catch up with friends! I wonder how many of us know how important our influence is on those around us? When we sojourner on this journey together we really do affect each other for eternity.

Andrew started a tradition with our first child of making after Baptism quiche breakfast… It is so delicious!

🐎 Memories 🐎

“A New baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.”

Holding her is one of the coziest places in this world 💖💜💝💞

Our neighbor delivered these a few days ago, she grew them, they are beautiful! 🏵️🌺🌸

Grandpa was missing a chain for three years or so, these cuties found it in the lot!

Since mom’s been a bit more preoccupied these days, she’s been so good about keeping herself busy, reading books, etc.

Grandparents 💛

Andrew is blessed to have healthy parents willing to come and help out for a while!

I didn’t get a picture of Grandma quick enough but in this one Grandpa got to hold the little girl for a while.

Good Morning 🌻
